Central Michigan University is now home to 13,524 students, which is a 600 student drop from last year and around a 9,500 student drop from 2017. Despite low enrollment, Vice President of Student Recruitment and Retention, Jennifer DeHaemers, said she felt positive about where the university stands with enrollment.⁠
⁠
“We’re maintaining,” DeHaemers said. “Obviously we’d rather be growing, but to be at that spot is definitely a positive in the sense that we’re not continuing to decline.” ⁠
⁠
CMU international enrollment has also dropped by 497 students from the spring to this fall semester. Three years ago, the university reached its highest international enrollment of 1,734 students.⁠
